I did look at their site but very time I go to buy a scope they are sold out and will not let you order. Then I'll forget about a scope until I go back to the range and my ****** little knockoff has lost it's zero again. I have sign up for the email me when it's available through primary arms

IMO, I would not buy Barska. The old saying of "you get what you pay for applies"

I did the "e-mail when in stock" deal to get the compact 3X scope from them, it does work. The scope was better than I had hoped for

That thing is ugly! I can highly recommend this for a magnification scope: Amazon.com: UTG 30mm SWAT 3-12X44 Compact IE Scope with AO Mil-dot, 36 Colors EZ-TAP: Sports & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Cc7LhKizL.@@AMEPARAM@@41Cc7LhKizL

Their customer service is terrible. Ordered a scope in early December. Was defective. Called, and called, and called only to get voicemail and a greeting that said the mailbox was full and not taking messages. I email them as well. Finally after telling them I would file a complaint with my credit card company they responded and gave me an RMA.
I returned the scope and waited for a refund. After a month (since they received the returned scope) with no refund I filed with CC company. Just finished getting my refund last Friday.
No apologies, no attempt to make things right.

I am going to agree with the stay away from Barska suggestion. I had both a red dot and a little Rimfire scope from them and neither held zero worth a darn. I trashed the scope and traded the red dot away with the rifle it was on with the red dot not even being part of the deal and he promptly trashed it. I am strongly considering the Primary Arms one myself.

Thanks. Most of what I've heard hasn't been close to good. I've yet to see anyone jumping up and down happy about them. Seeing them sell for 1/2 the regular cost always sets off warning bells.
